After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 699 Disease

It is really……

"The environment in the mountains is too harsh. If we continue to live like this, even if we escape the many restrictions of the court outside the mountains, how can our children live like human beings?"

"Our children are so good! They should live like human beings, not like beasts!"

Aunt Alan said in one breath what she had been holding back for half her life.

The Third Village Chief pointed at her and cursed: "Eighth Village Chief, how dare you say that we live like beasts? You are disrespecting the mountain gods and our ancestors. If Old Zhuyou finds out, he will definitely punish you, the Eighth Village!"

"Then Lin Chahua lived outside the mountain, but she was tortured by the people outside the mountain and couldn't have children! Do you want girls like A Ling to live this kind of life outside the mountain?!"

"Shut up!" The chieftain was furious, pointing at the third chieftain, Aunt Alan and the others, "Get out!"

The third leader was the most sensible and immediately said, "Master, calm down. I said something wrong. I will leave now."

"Calm down, chief. Let's go out first." Aunt Wen, the tenth chief, pulled Aunt Alan out of the chief's house, leaving only Uncle Ahe, Mengzi, Aling and Ahei inside.

Uncle Ahe treated the chief for a quarter of an hour and finally wanted to drive Mengzi away, but the chief said, "Mengzi should stay. He is A Ling's cousin, a family member, and a young leader of the new generation. There are some things he should know."

Uncle He could only agree.

After hearing this, the village chief seemed to be in trouble... Mengzi was only fifteen years old and was panicking at the moment. If something happened to the village chief who was as big as a mountain, who could they turn to for advice when they encountered difficulties?

The village chief lay down and asked Uncle Ahe to lift up the clothes on his back.

Uncle He did as he was told.

The skin on the back of the village chief was covered with dark blue patches. When pressed with the hand, there were dimples and the patches did not bounce back for a long time.

"This, this is dead skin disease." Mengzi couldn't believe it. Was the village chief really going to leave them?

The village chief nodded and said, "I have had pain in my body since Ah Hei was born. Ten years ago, dark blue spots began to appear on my skin. My bones ached day and night. I had to take poison to stop the pain..."

The village chief said this and suddenly asked Mengzi a question: "Mengzi, do you know how old I am this year?"

Mengzi shook his head, but said: "He looks about the same age as Mr. Qin."

In fact, the village chief looks older than Grandpa Qin.

The chief of the village laughed: "He is forty-eight, but Mr. Qin is already half fifty this year. He is almost ten years older than me, but he looks younger than me. Why? Because my bones are rotten."

Grandpa Qin married late, so he is older than Village Chief Qin, but his grandchildren are younger than Village Chief Qin's grandchildren.

The chief of the village, like the village chief Qin, got married at the age of fifteen, and his son who died early became a father at the age of fifteen.

Ah Hei is only sixteen this year, but he looks like he is in his twenties.

A Ling's facial features were also very beautiful, but due to the poor environment in the mountains, her skin was in poor condition. When she stood next to that young master Qin, she was outshined by the girl from outside the mountains.

The chief of the stronghold said, "This is the living environment in our mountains. If you live in the mountains for thirty years, your body will be corroded by the damp evil energy in the mountains... Taking the medicine of Lao Zhuyou can indeed eliminate the pain in your body, but it only treats the symptoms and cannot completely eliminate the damp evil energy in your bones."

"The only way to cure this disease is to move out of the mountains and stop the body from absorbing damp evil qi."

"Then the eldest grandfather will move to live outside the mountain and will not return to the mountain." Mengzi said.

Ah Ling scolded him: "What a fool you are talking about. If it were really that easy, Grandpa wouldn't be worried about it."

There are also a group of leaders like Lao Zhuyou who reject those outside the mountain. The main reason for Dazhai is that he will not return to the mountain. Lao Zhuyou will definitely seize the first village in the name of the mountain god and burn to death the relatives of the Dazhai master in other villages. This is the second thing.

What the head of the stronghold least wants to see is: "Old Zhuyou is making a fuss about me leaving the mountain and abandoning the people in the mountain. I'm afraid the new generation of kids will be bewitched by him and reject the outside world again."

It would actually be easy for him to move out of the mountain, but he has to cut off the roots of ignorance within the mountain!
If this root is not cut off, the people in the mountains will suffer from generation to generation.

"As long as this root of ignorance is cut off, even if we don't move out of the mountain, we can still make use of the technology outside the mountain and live better and better."

“By opening up the roads, eradicating poisonous weeds, cutting down the overly dense vegetation that gathers dampness, and building tall, thick blue brick houses, you can absorb less dampness and evil energy by half, and your life span will increase.”

The chief of the village has the power to go out of the mountains to sell goods, so he knows a lot about things outside the mountains and knows how to reduce dampness.

But he had too deep feelings for the mountains, and Lao Zhuyou and others would not allow him to touch the plants and trees in the mountains. In addition, when he went out of the mountains to sell goods, he had been bullied by people from outside the mountains, so the chief gave up on improving the environment in the mountains.

But later, several of his sons died of illness one after another, and he also contracted dermestidospermia and did not have much time left.

The village chief is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of a hard life, but he doesn't want the children in the mountains to suffer the same hardships they have suffered throughout their lives!

"Alan is right. Our child is a good child and deserves to live a normal life."

"Grandpa is a good man, and he deserves to live a good life." Mengzi was already crying and couldn't speak. Now he had only one thought: "Ah Hei, Aling, we have to keep Grandpa outside the mountain and we can't go back, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Grandpa will die!

Ah Ling pulled Mengzi up and said coldly, "Behave yourself. I told you the truth so that you can help fulfill Grandpa's plan, not so that you can cry."

Ah Hei also cried, but he had known about his grandfather's illness for a long time, so he was not as excited as Mengzi.

He only shows excitement when facing people from outside the mountain... because this is part of Grandpa's plan.

He doesn't have a very good brain, but he can still do a good job if he follows instructions.

However, he still hated Jiang Dalang. This kid from outside the mountain was not only insidious, but also heavy-handed. He was beaten so hard that one of his teeth flew out!
"Mengzi, follow General Jiang to serve as a soldier outside the mountain. If you become a man of some stature, you can become a general. Ah Ling, get along well with the girl from the Qin family and do business together... We mountain folk are not stupid. As long as you become successful, we mountain folk will naturally know whether you are good or bad by watching your life."

Not to mention humans, even the animals in the mountains know how to run for the better.

So the Dazhai Lord asked them to make lanterns for the mountain people.

"And I will try to live a few more years to suppress the old Zhuyou and others, and prevent them from doing stupid things because of their fear of the outside world..."

In fact, what the chief wanted to do was to kill old Zhuyou... Well, when he couldn't hold on any longer, he would drag old Zhuyou to die together.

Only by getting rid of those who are misleading can the mountain people's minds become truly clear.

Mengzi knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I swear to the mountain god that I will make a name for myself in the army and become the mountain for the new generation of mountain people, so that they can see what is good and what is bad."

"Good, good boy." The village chief smiled, raised his hand and touched his head three times, blessing him, and then looked at Ah Ling and Ah Hei: "You are also good boys."

Just ...

"A Ling, it's Grandpa who is sorry for you. If you live outside the mountain, your achievements will definitely not be worse than that girl from the Qin family."

"What are you talking about, Grandpa? I am staying in the mountains voluntarily. I don't want my fellow mountain folks to be bewitched and lose their minds."

She and her grandfather share the same ambition, which is to draw on the power outside the mountain to eliminate the ignorance inside the mountain and let the people live an enlightened, healthy and prosperous life.
